Yep, only it had a black synthetic stock. (Uh-oh, a black "evil" rifle at that age might heap even MORE flak upon someone!)
How's the quality of those guns? They appear solid, and amazingly look like scaled-down versions of the Winchester model 67A youth .22 with 20" barrel of years back.

i expect them to last long enough for their kids to use them. they are very good quality for the type of guns they are. the're not high dollar target guns by any means, but great for starter guns. they have a key operated lock that locks the bolt open, and the firing pin has to be cocked before firing. the firing pin takes quite a bit of effort to pull back.
i got blued models because a round in the chamber will be a lot more distinct, than with a stainless model. a silver or brass casing in the chamber will stand out more. my kids always check the chamber before handling, since they can easily operate the bolt.

If those are still around in 4 or 5 years I'll probably get some for my daughters. They're twins and I would get a kick out of them having pink rifles. My wife likes pink but does not exactly like the idea of me teaching the girls to shoot that young. I enjoy irony.
